Jc I can get you something else I can

Reasonable
I have come to realise that it is impossible to have unbiased news these days. BBC is not immune to that however it is way way better than it’s Australian cousin (ABC). All to do with the quality of editors and producers. I listen to this podcast every day and the reporting is Global. I am lucky enough to have the time to listen to a number of alternative sources to get a broader opinion. 👍😊
What is the obsession with Charles?
If I have to fast forward past another story about a someone wanting a republic, then I will have to find my news elsewhere. If you want to change your government do it. Stop wasting my time.
I am starting to regret paying for this.
